How these cards work
Define cards carry a term on the front and its definition on the back. Check cards carry a question with a short written answer, one per lesson; write the answer out before turning the card over. Spot the error cards carry an inaccurate statement on the front for you to correct.
Your card schedule is kept in this browser, on this device, unless you sign in, just like the revision checklist. For Anki, the same cards are available as free Anki decks, one per unit.

- Chiral centreDEFINE
- EnantiomersDEFINE
- Optical isomerismDEFINE
- StereoisomersDEFINE
- Plane-polarised lightDEFINE
- Optically activeDEFINE
- Racemic mixtureDEFINE
- ChiralDEFINE
- Inversion of configurationDEFINE
- Two molecules with the same bonds in the same order are the same molecule, so a mirror image is just the original turned roundSPOT THE ERROR
- Optical isomerism: check questionCHECK
- NucleophileDEFINE
- Nucleophilic additionDEFINE
- Tollens' reagentDEFINE
- Fehling's solutionDEFINE
- HydroxynitrileDEFINE
- Hydride ionDEFINE
- 2,4-DinitrophenylhydrazineDEFINE
- DerivativeDEFINE
- Triiodomethane testDEFINE
- Hydride from NaBH₄ is just a hydrogen atom, so reduction is adding H₂ across the double bond as with an alkeneSPOT THE ERROR
- Aldehydes and ketones: nucleophilic addition and the tests that tell them apart: check questionCHECK
- Weak acidDEFINE
- Carboxylate ionDEFINE
- EsterificationDEFINE
- Condensation reactionDEFINE
- HydrolysisDEFINE
- TriglycerideDEFINE
- BiodieselDEFINE
- SaponificationDEFINE
- TransesterificationDEFINE
- In an ester the alcohol loses its OH and the acid loses an H, because that is how an acid and an alkali make waterSPOT THE ERROR
- Carboxylic acids, esters and biodiesel: check questionCHECK
- Acyl chlorideDEFINE
- Acid anhydrideDEFINE
- AcylationDEFINE
- Acyl groupDEFINE
- Leaving groupDEFINE
- AmideDEFINE
- N-substituted amideDEFINE
- Nucleophilic addition–eliminationDEFINE
- An acyl chloride reacts like a chloroalkane, so the nucleophile simply pushes the chlorine off in one stepSPOT THE ERROR
- Acylation: acyl chlorides and acid anhydrides: check questionCHECK
- Condensation polymerisationDEFINE
- PolyesterDEFINE
- PolyamideDEFINE
- Addition polymerisationDEFINE
- Amide linkDEFINE
- Ester linkDEFINE
- Repeating unitDEFINE
- BiodegradableDEFINE
- PhotodegradableDEFINE
- Condensation polymers give off water because they are made in water, and all plastics last for centuries in the groundSPOT THE ERROR
- Condensation polymers and the disposal of polymers: check questionCHECK
